Thank you, Mr. Speaker. People are drawing a lot of attention lately to the cost of living. Frustration has spawned a Facebook page, public meetings, and you can’t see the news without hearing the words “high cost of living.” I want to recognize this initiative and respond to it.

The cost of living being too high means living pay cheque to pay cheque, never getting ahead of the bills, holding multiple jobs, and no savings for emergencies or the future.

Thank you, Minister Roland. The next on my list, I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Next on my list Mr. Ramsay.

Committee, I’d like to call on Mr. Delorey for opening comments.

Thank you, Minister. We’ll start with general comments. Committee, open for general comments. Mr. Yakeleya.
